!!'''This game provides examples of:'''

*ActionGirl - Player 2 character from the US version.
*AttackDrone - Each player has two of these that can be positioned according to the situation.
*BatmanCanBreatheInSpace - Being supposedly cyborgs, the player's avatar has no problem with breathing in outer space.
*BattleshipRaid - Level 4 (3 in ''Final Mission'') is an attack on the aliens' dreadnought.
*ColorCodedMultiplayer - Arnold and Sigourney wear blue and red armor respectively.
*CoversAlwaysLie - The cover of US version shows some armored guy with a mustache flying on a JetPack, while the game proper has TheAhnold as the Player 1 character.
*DarkerAndEdgier - The intro of the Japanese version is this, with apocalyptic music playing while the aliens' beams decimate city after city.
*DifficultyByRegion - The Japanese version is ''way harder'' than international ones, with player having less HP at the start and reverting their weapon to the default peashooter upon being hit.
*FunWithAcronyms - ''Too much'' dirty fun with the game's US title. The European version calls player's team ''Special Attack Team'' instead.
*FrickinLaserBeams - Both the player and enemies use various lasers.
*JetPack - The protagonists use these to move around.
*LighterAndSofter - The intro of international versions feels more like a B-flick than an all-out apocalyptic scenario.
*MacrossMissileMassacre - The Dreadnought fights back with a lots of missles in a boss fight against it.
*MarketBasedTitle - The unfortunate acronym is the title of the US version, while in Japan and Europe this game is called ''Final Mission'' and ''Action in New York'' respectively.
*NintendoHard - the Japanese version, but US and European ones aren't that much of a walk in the park either.
*NoCelebritiesWereHarmed - In the US version you play as characters named either Arnold or Sigourney, and while no surname is given, it's evident that both strongly resemble famous action movie stars going by identical names. ''Action in New York'' keeps the appearance but changes their names.
*OneManArmy - As expected from a game like this, you're capable of taking out the entire alien force all by yourself (or with a friend).
*SpaceElevator - The astro-tube in Stage 3 (Stage 4 in the Japanese version).
*SuperSoldier - The protagonists are cybernetically-enhanced according to American version's title.
*TheAhnold - In the US version Player 1 character is literally ''that'' [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger Arnold]].
*VideoGameLives - Averted, as the players have one life and only a handful of hit points for the entire game. Extra HP is rewarded by scoring points or picking up the "R" power-up.
